Job summary
Applications are invited for the post of Consultant Urological Surgeon with an interest in Female and Core urology. The initial post is expected to be made up of a combination of female/incontinence surgery and core urology to help the team tackle the current pressures on the service. This balance is likely to change as the post and the service develops. This is a substantive post starting initially with 10 PA, within the Department of Urology at The Manchester University Foundation Trust (MFT).
The department is looking for a consultant with the right attributes to join one of the largest Urology teams in the country.
